Tough financial forces and lousy summer
weather appear to be determined to try and take
charge of the wholesale power supply market.
Prices tumbled throughout the center of June to fresh lows. Annual gas costs are today 15%
lower than the same time last year, while annual power prices fell to a two-year low plus are
22% down year-on-year.

Falling power prices dragged yearly spark spreads down 7% to £3.4/MWh, plus even
that reliable stalwart coal is having a hard time of points, with slipping prices buffering the fall of
dark spreads somewhat to a £17.9/MWh premium to spark spreads.

So what's been setting off these price crashes? Well, concerns about debt inside the Eurozone
nations hasn't assisted. Greece lurches from crisis to crisis plus even the election of a new
government is doing little to allay worries about its long-term future. However it's slowing
financial development in the US plus China which has absolutely pushed international energy
markets downwards. Brent Ameratex Energy Crude Oil tumbled to $97.6/bl, its lowest level
because January 2011, plus yearly API coal dropped to a modern 20-month low of $95.4/t.

But, all of the is superior news for consumers. While we may be missing out on which 'BBQ
summer' the forecasters promised us, both domestic and commercial end-users have watched
vitality costs drop inside real terms. A fall in inflation has also aided to stabilise the retail market,
but the big difference has been at the pumps, where motorists have finally started to find the
numbers found on the forecourts going down rather of up. This, combined with lower electricity
plus gas costs, has provided the British economy a short respite, throughout which it has a
chance to drive up creation plus keep the fragile heart of UK PLC beating for a while longer.

Ironically, it's been the biomass marketplace which has held the fort. Despite biomass contracts
dropping, with costs for 2013 down 1% to £88.5/t, costs are nevertheless about 6% high
than this time last year. They've recovered from their four-year low and are at their highest level
for five months. This boost has been helped inside no little measure with the approval of the
plans for a 40MW staw-fuelled biomass plant in Snetterton, Norfolk, which have finally been
provided the go-ahead.

The real headline grabber throughout June plus into July has been the atrocious weather the
UK has experienced. Lower than average June temperatures and storm following storm has
resulted in a rise inside UK gas demand. Supply peaked at 223.1mcm on 11th June, in the
middle of the bad weather. Industry watchers believe that the unseasonably bad weather has
encouraged various people to do anything they wouldn't usually do in June - they turned the
heating up. The outcome was that though the national system decreased 0.1%, the territorial
system climbed 2.2%. To date, summer demand (calculated from April 1st) was down 7.8% on
the national program however, up a staggering 31.1% found on the territorial program,
compared to the same time last year.
What this indicates is that while gas demand for power generation is down year-on-year,
consumption by households and small businesses has risen. This signifies which gas usage is
acting because a barometer for the productiveness of the UK economy plus whilst the big
consumers may be trying, homes and companies are continuing to ride out the worst of the
financial storm, putting a more positive face on what has been a difficult few months.

How costs can fare inside the next limited weeks usually depend on 3 things - the resolution (or
otherwise) of the Eurozone crisis, plus the financial condition of the US and China. If they start
to wobble you may see costs begin to climb back up again.
